An impulsive but gifted driver, Ralf Schumacher did not waste any time on getting onto the podium in his first year of Formula 1 racing. By his third race - at Buenos Aires - he was there. But he has another side to his character. His shunt with his team-mate (if that's the right term), Fisichella, in Argentina has not been forgotten. Nor has his responsibility for the retirement of his brother, Michael, in the Luxembourg Grand Prix. Eddie Jordan is nonetheless counting on him to score points in 98 and win his first race. |
